Green Arthur Mr Mrs 330317 p1
Cousins Killed in Big Quake at Long Beach; First casualty lists from the big earthquake at Long Beach Friday night
conveyed the sad news to Mrs. A. M. Field that her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Green, had been killed in the shock that
demolished the art store they conducted in the beach city. Despite the large number of former local people and their close
connections in the danger zone, however, this is the only case reported where harm befell any. While word was slow in
getting through in many cases, reassuring messages have been received from all, as far as can be learned. Mrs Field had
numerous other relatives in the quake area and her uncle had a large store completely demolished at Huntington Park,
while others reported minor damage to their property. They stated that the papers did not exaggerate the situation, which
was worse than any printed description they had seen. Miss Leah Fulton was in downtown Los Angeles at the time and
fled to the middle of the street with everyone else, where she watched the tall buildings sway at an alarming rate, but was
not endangered by falling debris. She came up to Patterson Saturday, accompanied by a friend, and spent the weekend
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Fulton.
